Muppets dump Chick-fil-a

[Wikkiwallana]

That's a good thing. Who wants cigarettes on their burger?

Bone-dry chicken sandwich devoid of anything that might resemble taste.

Seriously, there is more in KFC's chicken and in general I consider KFC's chicken meat to be water's other solid form.

Bone-dry? Every one I ever had was soggy…

[Raeyh]

Chick-fil-a tastes about the same as what I would make if I had a chicken sandwich at home. Taco Bell, on the other hand, just tastes like mystery meat from a cafeteria.

Actually made a chicken sandwich? Or just defrosted a pre-breaded chicken patty?

Yeah, I took a chicken breast, sliced it in half, grilled it, and then stuck that on a burger bun and topped it with a pickle.

[No Water No Moon]

That makes no sense. I really don't think they had any inkling this was going to go viral.

Yes of course a company weighs in on the #2 or #3 hot button issue of our time and they had no idea this would generate controversy.

A few decades back, maybe. In this day and age, he probably assumed that what-you-say-on-Atlanta-talk-radio-stays-on-Atlanta-talk-radio. 'Atlanta talk radio' now is basically a synonym for hot and cold running Republican propaganda.

In other news:

"Mike Huckabee, has called for a "Chick-fil-A Appreciation Day"".

Perhaps you missed the first section about them having tasty food.

But it's not even that good. It's dry tasteless chicken with dry tasteless breading and on a dry tasteless bun...with two pickles that are soggier than the ones you get from McDonalds.

Even when they try and spice up their recipes it's not even good, just a customary tingling to indicate some sort of spice then..you guessed it, dry tastelessness again.

Seriously, where are you people getting all this dry chicken?

And you know what? For all that, the food tastes pretty awesome, just because you have such low expectations of it! Chik-fil-A suffers from the opposite syndrome - I have high expectations and their Chik'n doesn't meet it. Also, homophobia, fuck that with a phallic rainbow.

Well there's also money. For the bill a filling meal for two at Chik Fil A would get you, instead you can go to Ihop or some other low end chain diner and have a real restaurant experience where they refill your coffee for free and you flirt with the waitress at 2AM.

We must have a different opinion of "tasty".

But then, I have a $600 jar of caviar in my fridge right now. Having a dinner party on Wednesday, and need something as a hor's d'oeuvre.

Invite me or I will end your caviar.

[No Water No Moon]

"...I actually like their product, regardless of their beliefs, they have excellent service, and we have similar views..."

In other words, you like their product despite their views, because you like their views.

Which is fine - you missed my point though. I don't object to your anti-Boycott. Go give them all your money, that's awesome - it's the market in action.

I'm just pointing out, business loves a captive market. The fact that they can market their product to you without tailoring it to your market, or paying for advertising to target your demographic - that's just the kind of news they love.

You misunderstood me. I meant that, if they were pro-gay rights, I would still like their product, because it tastes good. Their believes have no correlation with that fact that their product is good.

If they were pro-gay-rights, would you boycott?

Don't be so hasty to insist, some of the Kaluga stuff can be pretty damn salty.

That's what the vodka is for.

They don't generally have those at highway rest stations, which is likely the only reason I would be eating out in the first place.

This is the good stuff, only slightly salty, smells and tastes of the sea. Perfect on rye crackers.

I'm not sure. If they were to say something like, "75% of our income will go to support gay rights" then I would. But, if the owner just says he supports gay rights, similar to what he did now, then no I wouldn't, because, honestly, that an overreaction.

Ah right, the burn, forgot that part.

Well then, Farn brings the vodka, Wikki brings the rye crackers, Adafd brings the caviar, and I'll pony up the campaign and high-price Russian and Estonian escorts.

[Wikkiwallana]

Wait, you got crispy chicken at a Chick-Fil-A? What sorcery is this?!

You know how homosexuality makes wrists limp? Apparently they do the same thing to chicken.

Does homosexuality also coat things in a thick layer of oil?

Oh, right. Nevermind.

Sounds like a plan!

I love how a businessman now can say “I personally believe in traditional marriage” and say nothing else and yet he gets labeled a homophobe and the business he manages is equivocated to Westboro Baptist Church.

The reaction to this Baptist Press interview has been nothing short of sickening to me, as someone who campaigns for LGBT rights. With this overreaction we are just adding fuel to our opponents' fires. It doesn't help the people we are trying to help.

Well, they have provided free catering to an anti-LGBT event in the past. Looking up the specifics will take me a little bit, but I'd be glad to do it after my dentist appointment.

Don't lie. No one is glad to do shit after a dentist appointment.

I'm glad to leave to office. That counts right?

I would argue it does not do enough to counterweight the dread of having to have been there in the first place, plus now your teeth feel funny.

I know I'm going to regret asking this but... Why, exactly, do you oppose equal rights?

He doesn't. He opposes people of the same sex marrying.

He doesn't. He opposes people of the same sex marrying.

And how is that not opposing equal rights?

[Cromarty]

Exactly.

He opposes equality.

[Lialoth]

He doesn't. He opposes people of the same sex marrying.

Which is opposing equal marriage rights. "He doesn't oppose equal rights, he just wants 'them darkies' to use a different fountain from us normal people."
